Post details: Gen. Michael Hayden tapped for new head of CIA
Gen. Michael Hayden has been nominated for the new head of the CIA, replacing Porter Goss. Goss is still being snarky about why he resigned, calling it "just one of those mysteries." It's not very mysterious if you're following the Duke Cunningham/Brent Wilkes/Mitch Wade/hooker shenanigans.
Gen. Michael Hayden is the replacement, an Air Force General. He's already receiving criticism saying that a military officer shouldn't lead a civilian spy agency. House Intel Chairman Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) is leading the criticism charge.
Specifically, Hoekstra was concerned that Hayden, as a member of the military, would be seen as “under the sway” of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Hayden concerns me because he was in charge of the NSA wiretapping as director of the National Security Agency. As the top dog, he would have known about them, and his refusal to honor parts of the constitution makes me wary of his commital to defend the rest of it.
Hayden himself is peripherally related to the Duke Cunningham/Brent Wilkes/Mitch Wade/hooker shenanigans, as he was contracted with MZM for services.
MZM was owned and operated by Mitchell Wade, who has admitted to bribing former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham with $1.4 million in money and gifts.
